Everton manager David Moyes has dismissed speculation linking him with the managerial vacancy at Premier League rivals Aston Villa.

Moyes had been mentioned as a possible successor to Martin O'Neill, after the Irishman quit Villa Park over a disagreement about finances for the coming campaign.

However, Moyes insists he is more than happy at Goodison Park and has no intention of going anywhere else.

He told talkSPORT: "I'm loyal to Everton. I've always said that. It's a really good club and this year we have a really good team and we have a good chance to really do well.

"So, no. I'm really happy at Everton and that's where I'll be this season.

"We have some really good players at Everton, I can't hide it. Lots of clubs want our players, but I've always said if they want them they'll have to come with bags of money, because we weren't selling.

"I wanted to keep them all together. It's probably the strongest team and squad I've had. So I thought if I could keep them there it would give us an even better chance.

"We've not got the injuries we had last season. So I'm looking forward to taking this team forward and at least giving it a go to see what we can do."
